In addition to completing an activity session set-up, creating a Program Period in which the program session will be available for registration, such as Fall 2022 or Spring 2022, can be used in the program rollover process in which staff rolls over programs each year to save time creating sessions for a new fiscal year.

  • Program rollover can help staff quickly Copy activity registrations from year to year
